From 11 September to 7 October: The fake ‘War on Terror’ collapses For years, the US executed Israel’s regional destabilization program using phantom terrorists as justification for the ‘War on Terror.’ But 7 October 2023 killed Washington’s never-ending war project – with a flip of the switch, US adversaries have now turned the ‘Long War’ on Israel. Pepe Escobar But a false narrative construct cannot hold out forever. Three years ago, on the 20th anniversary of the Twin Towers collapsing and the onset of the War on Terror, we witnessed a great unraveling in the intersection of Central and South Asia: the Taliban were back in power, celebrating their victory over the Hegemon in a discombobulated Forever War. By then, the “seven countries in five years” obsession – aiming to forge a “New Middle East” – was being derailed across the spectrum. Syria was the turning point, though some would argue that the tea leaves were already cast when the Lebanese resistance defeated Israel in 2000, then again in 2006. But smashing independent Syria would have paved the way for the Hegemon – and Israel’s – Holy Grail: regime change in Iran. US occupation forces entered Syria in late 2014 under the pretext of fighting “terror.” That was Obama’s OCO in action. In reality, though, Washington was using two key terror outfits – Daesh, aka ISIL, aka ISIS, and Al Qaeda, aka Jabhat al-Nusra, aka Hayat Tahrir al-Sham – to try to destroy Damascus. That was conclusively proved by a declassified 2012 US Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) document, later confirmed by General Michael Flynn, the DIA’s chief when the assessment was written: “I think it was a willful decision [by the Obama administration]” when it comes to helping, not fighting, terror. thecradle.co One error. Obama claimed there was an Al Qaeda offshoot called the Khorasan Group in NW Syria that was plotting another 9/11 in the US. There was never such a group, and the existence of the group was also refuted by Al Qaeda in Syria. Obama had failed in his efforts to get Congress to pass a war resolution for Syria and sought to circumvent Congress and the public by lying about a fictional group that satisfied the 2001 Authorization to Use Military Force vs. Al Qaeda and like groups plotting domestic terrorism in the U.S. The whole Syrian war was fueled by circumventing public debate by funding the war by having third parties finance the FSA, AQ, IS, and other groups and funneling weapons through armories in Libya belonging to other governments who were partners in the war.
